EASA and the Foundation for Excellence in Mental Healthcare (FEMHC) are proud to announce the fifth edition release of the Early Psychosis Intervention Program
Directory.
The
purpose of this directory is to create a database
and directory of early intervention programs for psychosis within the U.S. It is available on the FEMHC Online Library.
The updates reflect the rapidly expanding national movement towards
increasing access to early intervention services. We are excited to see
new programs are developing in many states. We welcome coordination and
outreach with our new national partners and allies.

We hope that
this directory will help facilitate referrals and establish ongoing
networking, information sharing and collaboration across programs. We
also hope that it will be a resource for individuals experiencing psychosis
and their families, clinicians, and allies to find mental
health services in their area. The directory is up-to-date
as of October 2015, but its relevance may change as programs do. For more information, please contact us.

This on-line toolkit assembles sample materials and procedural descriptions to support new programs implementing early psychosis. We are currently reorganizing this page into a different format and we will continue to expand this resource as more materials are developed.
